002.SP1.HE1 %1Satira%2. 2%5a%6.[treat"."as#punct]
002.SP1.001 S%+%5r%6, Though (I thanke God for it) I doe hate
002.SP1.002 Perfectlie all this %1Towne%2, yet there is One State
002.SP1.003 In all ill thinges soe excellentlie best,
002.SP1.004 That hate towardes them breedes pittie toward the rest.
002.SP1.005 Thoughe Poetrie indeede bee such a Sinne,
002.SP1.006 As I thinke that bringes %1dearth%2, and %1Spaniardes%2 in,
002.SP1.007 Thoughe like the %1Pestilence%2, or olde fashion'd love
002.SP1.008 It riddinglie catche %1Menn%2, and doth remove 
002.SP1.009 Neuer till it bee sterv'd out, yet theire State
002.SP1.010 Is poore, disarm'd, like %1Papistes%2 not worth hate.
002.SP1.011 Or like a %1Wretche%2 w%5ch%6 at %1Barr%2 iudg'd as dead,
002.SP1.012 Yet promptes him w%5ch%6 stands next, and could not read,
002.SP1.013 And saves his life: Gives %1Ideott Actors%2 meanes
002.SP1.014 (Starving himselfe) to live by his laboured Scae%Lnes.
002.SP1.015 As in some %1Organes, Puppitts%2 daunce aboue,
002.SP1.016 And %1Bellowes%2 pant belowe, w%5ch%6 them doe move.
002.SP1.017 One, would move loue by rhimes, but witchcraft charmes
002.SP1.018 Bring not now theire old feares, but theire old harmes.
002.SP1.019 Rammes, and Slinges now are seelie Batterie.
002.SP1.020 Pistoletts are the best Artilerie:
002.SP1.021 And they that wright to lordes rewardes to gett
002.SP1.022 Are they not like Boyes singing at dores for Meate?
002.SP1.023 And they who write because all write, have still
002.SP1.024 That scuse for writing, and for writing ill.
002.SP1.025 But hee is worst, that beggerlie doth chawe [CW:Others]
002.SP1.026 Others wittes fruites, and in his ravenous Mawe, [f.10v]
002.SP1.027 Rawlie digested doth theis thinges out-spue
002.SP1.028 As his owne thinges, and they are his owne, tis true.
002.SP1.029 For if one eate my Meate, thoughe it bee knowne
002.SP1.030 The Meate was Mine, the %1Excrement's%2 his owne.
002.SP1.031 But they doe mee noe harme, nor they wch vse
002.SP1.032 To out-swive %1Dildoes%2, and out-vsure %1Iewes%2.
002.SP1.033 To out-drinke the Sea, out-sweare the %1Letanie%2
002.SP1.034 Who with Sinnes, >%Vof< all kindes as familiar bee
002.SP1.035 As %1Confessors%2. And for whose sinfull sake
002.SP1.036 %1Schoolemen%2 newe %1Tenements%2 in %1Hell%2 must make.
002.SP1.037 Whose strang Sinnes, %1Cannonistes%2 could hardlie tell
002.SP1.038 In which %1Commaundements%2 larg receipt they dwell.
002.SP1.039 But theis punishe themselues. Th' Insolence
002.SP1.040 Of %1Coscus%2 onlie breedes my great offence.
002.SP1.041 Whome %1Tyme%2, w%5ch%6 rottes all, and makes %1Botches, Poxe%2
002.SP1.042 And plodding on must make a Calfe, an Oxe.
002.SP1.043 Hath made a Lawier: w%5ch%6 was alas of late
002.SP1.044 But scarse a %1Poett%2; Iollier of this State
002.SP1.045 Then are newe-benific'd-%1Ministers%2: Hee throwes
002.SP1.046om
002.SP1.047 His title of %1Barrister%2 on euerie %1Wench%2,
002.SP1.048 And wooes in language of the %1Pleas%2, and %1Bench%2.
002.SP1.049 A motion Ladie: (speake Coscus) I have bene
002.SP1.050 In loue euer since %1Tricesimo%2 of the %1Queene%2.
002.SP1.051 Conti>%Vin<uall claimes haue I made; Inj[yes]unctions gott
002.SP1.052 To staie my Riualls suite, that hee should not
002.SP1.053 Proceede; Spare Mee; In %1Hillarie-Terme%2 I went
002.SP1.054 Yow said, if I retur'nd this %1Size%2 in %1Lent%2,
002.SP1.055 I should bee in %1remitter%2 of your grace, [CW:In]
002.SP1.056 In the Interim my letters should take place [f.11]
002.SP1.057 Of Affidauits; wordes; wordes, w%5ch%6 would teare
002.SP1.058 The tender %1laborinth%2 of a softe Maides Eare.
002.SP1.059 More, More then tenn %1Slavonians%2, skolding more
002.SP1.060 Then when windes in our ruind Abbeies rore;
002.SP1.061 When sicke with %1Poetrie%2, and possest with %1Muse%2
002.SP1.062 Thou wast; and madd I hop'd; But Men w%5ch%6 chuse
002.SP1.063 Lawe-practize for meere gaine, Bold Soule repute
002.SP1.064 Worse then imbrotheld %1Strumpetts%2 prostitute:
002.SP1.065 Now like an Owle-like %1Watchman%2 hee must walke
002.SP1.066 His hand still at a %1Bill%2, Now hee must talke
002.SP1.067 Idelie, like %1Prisoners%2, w%5ch%6 whole Monthes will sweare,
002.SP1.068 That onelie Suretiship hath brought them there.
002.SP1.069 And to euerie %1Suitor%2 lye in euerie thinge
002.SP1.070 Like a Kinges ffauorite, yea like a Kinge.
002.SP1.071 Like a wedge in a blocke wrung to the %1Barr%2,
002.SP1.072 Bearing like Asses, and more shameles farr
002.SP1.073 Then Carted-whores bee to the grave Iudge: ffor
002.SP1.074 Bastardie aboundes not in Kinges titles, Nor
002.SP1.075 Simonie, nor Sodomie in Church-Mens lyves,
002.SP1.076 As thies thinges doe in him: by theis hee thryves.
002.SP1.077 Shortlie (as the Sea) hee will compasse all our Land
002.SP1.078 From %1Scottes%2 to %1Wight%2, from %1Mount%2 to %1Dover-strand%2.
002.SP1.079 And spying %1Heires%2 melting with gluttonie
002.SP1.080 Sathan will not ioye at their Sinnes as Hee.
002.SP1.081 ffor as a thriftie Wench scrapes %1Kitchin-stuffe%2
002.SP1.082 And barrelling the droppinges, and the Snuffe
002.SP1.083 Of wasting-Candles, w%5ch%6 in thirtie yeare.
002.SP1.084 Relique-like kept perchaunce buyes %1Wedding geare%2;
002.SP1.085 Peece-meale hee gettes land, and spendes as much tyme [CW:Wringing]
002.SP1.086 Wringing each %1Acre%2, as Men pulling %1Prime%2. [f.11v]
002.SP1.087 In parchments as larg as his feilds, hee drawes
002.SP1.088 Assurances, bigg as glo'sd Ciuill Lawes.
002.SP1.089 Soe huge, that Men in our times forwardnes,
002.SP1.090 Are ffathers of the %1Church%2 for writing lesse.
002.SP1.091 Theis hee writes not; Nor for those written paies
002.SP1.092 Therefore spares no length; As in theis[sic] first daies
002.SP1.093 When Luther was profest, hee did desire
002.SP1.094 Short %1Pater-Nosters%2 saying as a ffrier
002.SP1.095 Each daie his Beades, but hauing left his lawes
002.SP1.096 Addes to Christes Praier, the Power, and Glorie clause.
002.SP1.097 But when hee selles, or chaunges land, hee impaires
002.SP1.098 His %1Writinges%2, and vnwatc'hd leaves out his %1Heires%2.
002.SP1.099 As slielie as anie %1Commentor%2 goes by
002.SP1.100 Hard wordes, or Sence: or in diuinitie
002.SP1.101 As Controuerters in vouch'd Texts leave out
002.SP1.102 Such wordes, as might against them cleare the doubt.
002.SP1.103 Where are these spied[sic] woods, w%5ch%6 cloath'd heeretofore
002.SP1.104 Those bought landes not built, nor burnt within doore?
002.SP1.105 Where's the old-landlordes troopes & Almes? In great Halls
002.SP1.106 Carthusian Fastes, and fulsome Bacchanalls
002.SP1.107 Equallie I hate: Meanes blesse: In rich Mens homes
002.SP1.108 I bidd kill some Beastes but not Hecatombes.
002.SP1.109 None starve, none surfett soe: But oh! wee allowe
002.SP1.110 Good workes as good, but out of fashion nowe,
002.SP1.111 Like old rich Wardrobes. But my wordes none drawes
002.SP1.112 Within the vast reach of the huge-statute-Lawes. [CW:Kinde.]
